You spent 700 really good bucks. Now you're gunna spend about 10K more, so be ready for that. When you're done you'll have a showpiece.
First things first, FIX ALL THE PROBLEMS. By fix I mean find the system that it's part of and replace the whole thing. If the brakes are about to need new pads, then get a 5-lug upgrade and SN95 two piston caliper upgrade and new A-arms. If your shocks are done, get new Tokico Illumina's or Bilsteins all the way around. The point is to not just replace the brokeness but upgrade as well. It costs about the same as a plain fix and it's worth it.
What I'm saying is that you've got a pretty old car and the only thing you should be attached to is the body. Everything else can be replaced and eventually will be. Replace big hunks of the thing each time and do it with good quality parts. If you don't know what parts you'll need... we can probably be helpful there.
